Thousands of years of feudal society has circulated an old saying " to be really rich, or the imperial family", because the emperor had countless rare treasures before his death, and the value of martyrdom after death was extremely valuable, this sentence Sun Dianying knew since he was a child, but he did not expect that he would have an indissoluble relationship with the imperial family.
In May 1928, Sun Dianying, who had just been recruited by Chiang Kai-shek and appointed as the commander of the Twelfth Army of the Sixth Army, received a task to suppress the bandit Ma Futian, and Sun Dianying suddenly realized that this mission might change his life.
The bandit Ma Futian had long coveted the Qing Tombs, and Ma Lanyu, who was stationed this time, was near the Qing Tombs and was ready to dig a tomb.
Qing Dongling buried a total of 5 emperors and 15 empresses, 136 concubines, 3 brothers, 2 princesses, etc. a total of 161 people in Shunzhi, Kangxi, Qianlong, Xianfeng, Tongzhi, etc. These mausoleums have a luxurious appearance, and the treasures in the underground palace are countless, taking Cixi as an example, the three halls cost more than 4590 gold taels, and there are accounts of all kinds of pearls worth 24 million taels. A bed of gold silk brocade was consumed by more than 12,000 beads, more than 300 gemstones, a bead crown with 4 large beads, worth more than 10 million taels, and the gaps in the coffin were all filled with jewelry, and its value was staggering.
Warlords like Sun Dianying are not Chiang Kai-shek's concubines, they belong to the Lord whose father does not love his mother and mother, and military expenses are often made up and down, and they have to find their own ways; Sun Dianying has long been moved by thieves to Qing Dongling, so he sent people to drive away Ma Futian and stationed his troops at Ma Shenqiao, which is a mountain away from Qing Dongling, and then, in the name of suppressing bandits, sent Tan Wenjiang, commander of the First Division, to lead his troops to camp in various mausoleums, and posted notices everywhere, claiming that he wanted to conduct military exercises, secretly drive away the tomb keepers, and send more sentries. Let the colonel of the engineering battalion, Zhao Sun Ziyu, prepare.

In May of the lunar calendar in 1928, Sun Dianying opened the tomb of Cixi, collected all kinds of treasures, split the coffin, and dragged out the body of Cixi, Sun Dianying personally inspected it, and brought the top product full of five large boxes back to the headquarters. The invincible Empress Xi was lying face down, her left hand twisted to her back, and her lips were torn by the beads from her mouth.
Filled with more than 30 carriages of gold and silver jewelry, Sun Dianying was still not satisfied, and blew up the Qianlong Emperor's Yuling Tomb, which was even more tragic here, only one of the six corpses of the Empress was not destroyed, and the other bones were abandoned everywhere, and the old man suffered this disaster less than 130 years after his death. With more than 50 cars of jewelry, Sun Dianying went away.
The news of the theft of Tanglin spread, public opinion was in an uproar, and the saddest thing was the last emperor Puyi.
The 22-year-old Puyi has already abdicated for 16 years, and more than 4 years have passed since he was thrown out of the Forbidden City by Feng Yuxiang, at this time he lived in Zhang Garden in the Japanese Concession of Tianjin, relying on a large number of jewelry, real estate, and land rents poured out of the palace, living a rich and public life, surrounded by a group of old and young, still dreaming of "His Majesty the Emperor".

Puyi saw the news of the theft of The Tanglin Tomb from the newspaper, heard that the ancestors of the patriarchs suffered this great disaster, Puyi immediately cried, reduced his food and changed his clothes, set up a spiritual hall in his home, and looked at the tomb to cry for sacrifices, and Puyi, who was impatient, immediately sent people to check and repeatedly negotiated with the Republic of China government about the aftermath.
After the visitor reported the tragic situation in Tanglin, Puyi cried loudly, as a descendant of the Ai Xinjue Luo family, how could he suffer such a strange shame and humiliation, he scolded Sun Dianying bitterly, and swore that "this vendetta will not be repaid, not the descendants of Xinjue Luo." But at this time it was already the Republic of China period, Puyi could only complain to the National Government, he called a meeting of the Qing Dynasty widows overnight, protested to the National Government, and demanded that Sun Dianying be strictly dealt with. Digging graves and robbing graves, great rebellion! It must be strictly handled", and then let Puyi wait for news.
Puyi was full of expectations for the day when Sun Dianying was ambushed, but he never expected that the news he was waiting for was that Sun Dianying, after being instructed by a high-ranking person, gave Cixi's jade watermelon to Song Ziwen, gave the two largest of Qianlong's imperial pearls to Dai Kasa, gave the jewels on Cixi's imperial boots to Kong Xiangxi, gave the night pearl in Cixi's mouth to Song Meiling, and then honored Yan Xishan, who was ordered to organize a military law trial, with gold worth 500,000 yuan.
Puyi hand-painted "Killing Sun Dian Yingtu"
Although Puyi urged many times, but the military law trial led by Shang Zhen performed one good drama after another, shortly after the start of the Central Plains War, Yan Xishan released Tan Wenjiang in order to win sun Dianying, at this point, the Tanglin treasure theft case was also over, the sworn Puyi had no choice, in order to give himself an explanation, he could only use poor brushwork to paint the only painting in his life, "Killing Sun Dianying", as the last emperor, Puyi had a wide range of hobbies, tennis, bicycles, cameras and other fresh things at that time were very interested There are also many calligraphy works left behind, but the calligraphy and painting works are a weakness, so this "Killing Sun Dian Ying Tu" is like a child's graffiti, the great revenge has not been repaid, through this painting that makes people can't help but be funny, you can also appreciate the last trace of dignity of the spirited little emperor.

After liberation, Puyi said in his autobiography "The First Half of My Life" that "the night pearl on Song Meiling's slippers is exactly the one that Empress Dowager Cixi holds in her mouth!" At this time, he truly understood that Chiang Kai-shek and Sun Dianying were in a hurry and deceived him, a little emperor.
Sun Dianying dug up the Tanglin Tomb and was attacked by the whole country, but he had a good word: the Manchu Qing killed three generations of my Sun family's ancestors and had to avenge the revolution, Mr. Sun Yat-sen had the alliance association, the Kuomintang, the life of the Manchu Qing, Feng Huanzhang (Feng Yuxiang) had a gun to force the palace, I did not have a few guns, I had to smash the imperial tomb, and the lives of the dead... Whether I rob the tomb or not, I am worthy of my ancestors and worthy of the robes of the Great Han."
This sentence is like sprinkling salt on the wound, angry Puyi seven tricks smoke but helpless.
Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Sun Dianying
And Feng Yuxiang was quite appreciative of Sun Dianying's behavior, took his hand and said: Brother Dianying, I admire your revolutionary spirit..... I revolutionize the lives of the living, and you revolutionize the lives of the dead... You did a good job! Sun Dianying listened to the words of the old chief and shed tears of excitement.
After that, Sun Dianying resisted Japan, surrendered to Japan, fought a civil war, changed his master several times, and finally became a prisoner of the People's Liberation Army, remembering that he had meritorious service in the War of Resistance in that year, and was quite preferential in prison, and many years of great smoking addiction made him suffer from incurable diseases and diarrhea, and when he was dying, he suddenly woke up, and finally, sun Dianying, the great thief of Tanglin, fell seriously ill and died, and the dozens of large carts of gold and silver jewelry dug out that year had long been spent by him.
